Don't bother already unsubscribed last week. I hate to say it but between 1.1 and 1.2 at least we got some info fairly regularly. But even that wouldn't be enough to keep me excited anymore. Everyone in our guild has quit. Our server is empty and the game is basically unplayable unless I keep grinding alts. I'm sorry I just can't do it anymore. I was a huge fanboy of Bioware and stood behind any game that you have put out, but after ME3 and now this I can't take that same stand anymore.

So long and thanks for all the fish Bioware...

See, this is why people (except other people crying) will ignore your arguments. You immediately jumped to name calling. I, no where in my post, said "It was ok" I said your argument was a bad one but you took that to be a defense of BW and called me a "fan bois" when all it was was me pointing out to you that your comparison was completely invalid and that you probably want to try and compare it to something that would make more sense instead of comparing it to a service that does the exact same thing (random time frames of when the goods would be delivered) because it invalidates your argument.

But, think what ever you would like and call me what ever you would like, it still doesn't change the fact that your argument/comparison is wrong/invalid ....

Yeah...a solid date for long-promised features that were supposed to be high priority for launch as well as after the implementation of the GUI Editor, such as chat bubbles would be great, too...although at this point we'd even do with an estimated patch we can expect chat bubbles to be in...

This does not bode well for most of the servers. While many of us can live without the legacy and balance updates associated with 1.3, we can't survive without server transfers well before it goes live. A few weeks ago (3-4) WZ queues on our server would start around 11am est until around 3 am. Each day and week that passes those time ranges have dwindled. We're now lucky if queues start before 5pm and end around 1-130 am. Even low level queues, which normally would be very good, are in decline. it's only going to get worse in 2-5 weeks from now before 1.3 hits PTS and goes live.

PvP isn't the only concern here either. Leveling has become even more a bore as many planets are barren or near to it. The GTN is in terrible shape. Guilds are disappearing. I'm sure you've heard it all already but these issues won't lessen as 1.3 draws nearer.

Server transfers, even in a limited capacity as you did with Asia Pacific, should be the development teams number 1 priority. If it means 1.3 doesn't release for another 2-3 months, no worries, we'll forgive you.

Heh, even if it was thoroughly tested, it's not like BW listens to what people say about it.

Too bad you only have 16 days left to convince me to stay.

You could level a new character to 50 on one of the few populated servers by the time 1.3 goes live. What else you going to do? Sit around and wait and wait and wait for a PvP que to pop?

Even then, do you know if the server merge will actually fix the population? What if they only merge your server with one other server that's also dead? They need to merge 10 servers into 1, or maybe 20 to 1. Who knows what they will do. I don't understand why you sit around and wait and wait for failed promises when you could just level a new toon to 50 in about 2 weeks, maybe 3 if you're slow. That's what I decided to do just in case 1.3 is another failure like 1.2 was with rated warzones.

Coming to TEST in the NEXT FEW WEEKS?

Holy crap. I flat out just lost all faith in this game, after being a major hold out to this point. What a horrible disappointment. There isn't even any CONTENT in 1.3. if it takes you 3 to 4 months to push out a extremely, unbelievably underwhelming set of features, when can we expect the needed content patch that will give 50s something to do and maybe win back some of the countless people who quit? 2014?

News flash! You game is failing faster then any game in MMO history. It took WOW 10 years to lose 400 subs in a YEAR, you did that in a MONTH, 4 months after lanch. Not a SINGLE person is coming back to play 1.3 so they can get an extra 2% xp while doing WZs or respec on the field. People WANT CONTENT. People NEED SOMETHING TO DO.

You failed on every level. I hope EA continues the aggressive lay off's and replaces the entire staff, not a single one of you deserves to be working on a project this big and important.

RIFTS could put out content faster then this game with a tenth the paying subs and likely less then a fraction of the budget.

LOL. This game is the class clown of MMO's. Such a Pity. 1.3 won't be until early July you can count on that.

That's very sad really, it's taken as long/longer than the previous patch yet contains little content other than the essential features.

1.4 had better be huge or people are going to give up completely.
